Seems to be happening much often lately, and individual posts can take a long time to load, from different computers too. New server? Is ER growing? Whatever it is, I hope the problems are rectified soon, this is usually a very quick loading site (essential for the short attention span folks).

I'd had no idea that others were having a problem too. I've been having big problems today with loading taking as much as 6-7 minutes, as well as with the "You cannot use the search" message, which, when it appears, prevents forum usage for as long as 30 minutes or more.

Bob just announce a New York date for the fall tour? That's the only reason I can come up with.

Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try... happens every day around lunch time (UK time - 13:00 - 14:00 -ish). I've always assumed that maintenance is run on the database at that time. If I want to use the board at that time, I access forums via the index page.

I tend to get it about the same time(s) of day as well. The most irritating thing is how long it takes to load a page...even at work where the connection is top notch and even pages with huge pictures or movies load instantly.

me too - around lunchtime and at midnight GMT, very annoying. One can circumvent this by going via the main board onto discussions but it aint the same.... i doubt it is overuse of the forum... we need boffins NOW
